	I'M HAVING PROBLEM WITH SATA HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION. AFTER THE WINDOWS XP INSTALLATION I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS THERE IS NO HARD DRIVE. I HAVE CHECKED ALL THE CONNECTIONS MANY TIMES BUT I GET THE SAME RESULT OVER AND OVER. HAS ANYONE RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM? I READ THAT I NEED TO MAKE A "SATA DRIVERS DISK" IN ORDER FOR WINDOWS TO FIND THE DRIVE. I THOUGHT THAT WINDOWS XP WOULD DO THAT AUTOMATICALLY? ANY SUGGESTION WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

	Replace your SATA cable. They are very fragile. This is a very common problem. __________________ Why are complimentary metal oxide transistors always happy? Because they're not bi-polar!
